A stronger cold front is expected to enter the NW Gulf late tonight, reach from near Mobile, Alabama to Brownsville, Texas Fri afternoon, then weaken as it reaches from north-central Florida to 27N89W, and stationary to extreme southern Texas late Fri. Low pressure is expected to form offshore extreme southern Texas on Sat along the western part of the front, and shift SSE through Sun as it dissipates. The cold front will weaken as it continues to the SE Gulf by late Mon. Strong north winds will follow the front over the far western Gulf on Sun and Sun night. Otherwise, strong east winds will develop off the northern Yucatan Peninsula at night through Fri.
